Thread Name: BS: Enough of mouthpiece Geldolf
Subject: RE: BS: Enough of mouthpiece Geldolf
I think Geldorf is sincere in his beliefs and actions. His language may be too direct for many but no-one can deny his ability to cut through red-tape and get his message out.
He is almost single-handedly responsible for instilling social awareness to a generation of young people following a period in popular culture that was in total opposition to the "Peace/Love" movement that preceded it.
I'd rather have Geldorfs' in-your-face brand of activism than the total apathy displayed by many politicians and, for me, it doesn't fall into the category of anarchy which is all too often without genuine aim or reason.
Look at the millions raised in the years after Live Aid. How many of those events would ever had taken place without Geldorfs' template?
